OnSSI Receives Lenel Factory Certification Under OpenAccess Alliance Program

  • Dec 08, 2015

On-Net Surveillance Systems, Inc. (OnSSI) has received factory certification from Lenel under the Lenel OpenAccess Alliance Program. OnSSI’s Ocularis version 5.1 video management software (VMS) now interfaces with the latest versions of Lenel OnGuard 2013 SP2 and OnGuard 7.0 SP1 to enable seamless functionality between the systems. This certification expands on OnSSI’s previous interface with the OnGuard system and Ocularis, providing customers a more comprehensive and effective physical security system option.

“OnSSI has completed required factory testing at Lenel to validate the functionality of its interface to the OnGuard 2013 and OnGuard 7.0 systems. This certification strengthens the existing relationship between these two technologies, allowing management of multiple cameras and event handling through the OnGuard system,” said Ross McKay, director of product management, Lenel. “We look forward to OnSSI’s continued involvement in the Lenel OpenAccess Alliance Program.”

OnSSI’s Ocularis offers comprehensive video surveillance and access control event management for streaming, recording and managing an unlimited number of cameras per system with PSIM functionality. Ocularis’ work flow provides a collaborative environment in which video and alerts from across the organization are organized into meaningful events for efficient shared handling and documentation.

“Achieving Lenel certification for Ocularis ensures seamless interaction between the latest versions of Ocularis and Lenel’s OnGuard platform to deliver a comprehensive video security and access control solution,” said Mulli Diamant, VP of International Business Development, OnSSI. “As Ocularis and the OnGuard system are updated, we will continue to work with Lenel to ensure that users can continue to take advantage of the strengths of both solutions.”

Ocularis is offered in three levels: Professional, designed for organizations operating multiple locations with small- to mid-sized camera counts; Enterprise, built for a wide range of mid to large IT-centric organizations; and Ultimate, created for large organizations with extended command and control needs and recording server failover.

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
